Attach and Detach the Takeoff Panel

Modified: 7 Jun 2026 Viewpoint Estimating Estimating Help

In the Takeoff tab and the Shape Recognition tab, you have the option of pinning and unpinning the Takeoff panel, which contains the Library, Estimate, Alternate, and Change Order panel tabs. This will allow you to display the panel permanently or temporarily. You can hold your mouse over a hidden panel to view and use it. Moving your mouse outside of the panel will cause it to slide out of view, giving you more workspace in the sheet area. Pin the panel to make always visible.

By default, the tabs are displayed at the bottom of the panel.

To open a job in the Manage Estimates screen, click Estimating > Estimating > Manage Estimates in the All Tasks pane. Then select the job you want to open, and click OK.
